<p>Everywhere else I’d be shocked if you didnt go in.</p>
<p>did someone say your hispanic? then your auto in I’d say
asian, 50/50</p>
<p>I agree with all! I visited Carleton and St. Olaf - they’re really nice! You have an interesting mix of small and large schools.</p>
<p>according to my calculations, you have a 21.341% chance at Stanford, with a margin of error of 3.400%. at the other places, you have chances above 75%, so consider them matches/safeties.</p>
<p>WOW, you’re going to dominate admissions! I can’t see you getting rejected…anywhere, really. Even if you went for Ivy Leagues, you’d probably have a solid shot.</p>
<p>Chance me too if you have the…well, chance. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/brown-university/811896-chance-me-if-you-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/brown-university/811896-chance-me-if-you-please.html</a></p>
<p>Geez I’m glad you weren’t trying to turn this into a “brag thread” or anything…I’ve read books shorter than your list of credentials…LOL!!!</p>
<p>Unless something goes wrong (teachers give bad recs or something), you’re going to get into Stanford.</p>
<p>In at uw, pepperdine. Gw.</p>
<p>Your resume is impressive and I honestly think you’ll get into all the schools you’re applying to. Despite Stanford being notoriously picky, I think you have a better shot there than most due to your difficult course load (and impressive GPA considering). Also, your minority status and being a male gives you an extra boost since most colleges are looking to up their male and minority ratios. Good luck!</p>

<p>Wow, what an enviable resume!
Honestly, you should have no problem getting into any of these schools.
I know someone who goes to Stanford and his stats were a little less compared to yours!
Good luck!

<p>youre a 100 percent for all except stanford
u could probably get full tutuion at GW which is a great school!

<p>With your background and stats I think you’re definitely in at all schools except for Stanford. Depending on your essays and recs you’ll probably get in there also.</p>
<p>Do you need financial aid? Stanford is need-blind to residents so it won’t matter to them, but your chances at others schools might slightly depend on amount of needed aid.</p>
<p>And btw, although you said you didn’t mean to brag, some might interpret it like that because your stats are just too good! Only listing them makes it sound like bragging! I’m sure it was the case with other apparent “bragging” threads too.</p>
<p>Wish you luck!</p>
<p>Please chance me back and help me trim down my list!

<p>check the last post…I added Stanford to the list</p>
<p>With your stats, if you were white and from the new york tristate area or some other hugely overrepresented area, you would probably still be a very competitive candidate, but the fact that you are an URM and come from Washington I really believe completely pushes you over the top. I don’t know if you’ve looked into them, but I would definitely recommend checking out some other top tier but a tiny bit less selective than Stanford universities like Columbia, UPenn, Duke, Brown etc. Stanford is always a crapshoot for anybody, but with your stats and hooks, I feel like you would be a very very strong contender at these schools just one tiny notch down.</p>
